The defect
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Keystone Cougar recreational trailers equipped with an outdoor propane grill. The outdoor propane grill is installed in a wooden assembly that may not have enough clearance from the heated area.
The risk
If the wooden assembly is exposed to high temperatures, there would be an increased risk of a fire.
